I do know that sky is planning changes but I understood they were introducing new decoders with the ability to record inbuilt. Have not heard anything about HD.

I am using a Hauppage PVR to record off sky. You can get various models in NZ but I would suggest PVR150 - particularly if only recording off sky as you can only record one channel at a time. If sky does go HD then you will need an HD TV to get any benefit as well as a HD capture card.

What I have done is purchased an MCE2005 remote which comes with an infrared blaster and you can train the remote control codes within MP to change the channel on sky when it is time to record. IE If you wish to record a movie on skymovies1 MP will make suer the decoder is on channel 20 so you record the right program.
